For Such a Time as This

Throughout history, there have been heroes of the faith. Hebrews 11 reads like a “Faith Hall of Fame.” Two new video courses on SchoolhouseTeachers.com share the lives of more heroes. As students learn about these heroes, they will see that they were, like Queen Esther, made “for such a time as this.” Lighting the Way is a course designed for elementary students that studies the lives of heroes of the Christian faith through animated stories, downloadable workbooks, and printable worksheets. Included in this series are thirteen episodes from the popular Torchlighters series and three episodes from the Children’s Heroes from Christian History series. Children will learn about Perpetua, Augustine, William Tyndale, John Bunyan, John Wesley, William Booth, Amy Carmichael, Samuel Morris, Corrie Ten Boom, Eric Liddell, Gladys Aylward, Richard Wurmbrand, Jim Elliot, David Livingstone, Mary Jones, William Wilberforce, William Carey, Robert Raikes, Hans Egede, Sundar Singh, John Paton, Ludwig Nommensen, and Pastor Damien. They Lived for God is a course for high school students. From the undying faith of Jan Hus to the enduring legacy of Elisabeth Elliot and Steve Saint, students will learn from an in-depth look at the lives these people lived through twenty-three videos, worksheets, and essay questions. They will take a closer look at men and women, like Jonathan Edwards, David Livingstone, Corrie Ten Boom, Eric Liddell, Billy Graham, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who overcame unimaginable odds and hardships by God’s grace and spread the Gospel wherever they went.
